3Ds max

Hello everyone!
I just recently started using portable apps. I tried making 3DS max studio 2009 portable. I installed a fresh copy of XP with VMware and then tried using thinapp to capture the installation etc etc. It didnt work.
So I tried looking for it on the internet and also, none of the files I d/led managed to work. Is it even possible to make 3ds max portable? Has anyone tried?

.....on so many levels here. This is basically an open source portable application promoter. Without going into too much detail on your queries you should look at this as the alternative http://portableapps.com/node/16257.

Admittedly it takes some getting use to but as you get use to the short cut commands you wiil be impressed. There are many tutorials out there for Blender as well as videos. And just to show how good it is have a look here http://www.bigbuckbunny.org/ and http://www.yofrankie.org/.
